| The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution Posted: 01 Nov 2019 09:37 PM PDT New book to be published Nov 5th by Gregory Zuckerman. There's a good excerpt in WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-making-of-the-worlds-greatest-investor-11572667202 Here's the beginning: The Making of the World's Greatest Investor Jim Simons was a middle-aged mathematician in a strip mall who knew little about finance. He had to overcome his own doubts to turn Wall Street on its head. by Gregory Zuckerman Jim Simons sat in a storefront office in a dreary Long Island strip mall. He was next to a women's clothing boutique, two doors from a pizza joint and across from a tiny, one-story train station. His office had beige wallpaper, a single computer terminal, and spotty phone service. It was early summer 1978, weeks after Mr. Simons ditched a distinguished mathematics career to try his hand trading currencies. Forty years old, with a slight paunch and long, graying hair, the former professor hungered for serious wealth. But this wry, chain-smoking teacher had never taken a finance class, didn't know much about trading, and had no clue how to estimate earnings or predict the economy. For a while, Mr. Simons traded like most everyone else, relying on intuition and old-fashioned research. But the ups and downs left him sick to his stomach. Mr. Simons recruited renowned mathematicians and his results improved, but the partnerships eventually crumbled amid sudden losses and unexpected acrimony. Returns at his hedge fund were so awful he had to halt its trading and employees worried he'd close the business. Today, Mr. Simons is considered the most successful money maker in the history of modern finance. Since 1988, his flagship Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66% before charging hefty investor fees—39% after fees—racking up trading gains of more than $100 billion. No one in the investment world comes close. Warren Buffett, George Soros, Peter Lynch, Steve Cohen, and Ray Dalio all fall short. [link] [comments]  |
| Goldman Sachs says antitrust to heat up in 2020, pressure Facebook, Google shares for 'years' Posted: 01 Nov 2019 12:28 PM PDT Goldman Sachs downgrades the communications services sector to a neutral rating based on regulatory pressure and expected lackluster performance. "Antitrust lawsuits typically take years to resolve but ultimately result in lower valuation," writes David Kostin, chief equity strategist at Goldman Sachs. Whether Kostin's caution is called for will depend on coordination between lawmakers on both sides of the aisle as well as the results of the 2020 election. [link] [comments]  |
| A little investing tip: Remind yourself of when you've been wrong Posted: 01 Nov 2019 02:07 PM PDT Back in August, the market was starting to trade sideways and there were all those recession signs, like the inverted yield curves, etc etc. I was seriously considering moving a bunch of investments into cash but didn't. Since then, the market has been up about 7% -- an average year's worth of gains. The market will tank eventually, but I've had these thoughts of moving to safety many times over the past 3 years. If I'd have acted, I would have missed out on a huge rally. Investing and trading mistakes often comes from cognitive biases like confirmation bias (only notice evidence that confirms what you already think) and hindsight bias (new knowledge now seems obvious) so I find it's helpful to counteract those biases by reminding myself of what I thought and felt in the past and how wrong I have been. It helps me avoid panic moves in the present because it reminds me how wrong I can be and the I'm still that same person. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:50 AM PDT The report also found it "astonishing" that there were still up to 800,000 faulty machines in people's homes four years after the Whirlpool revealed they posed a fire hazard. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. Stocks are risky and not suitable for everybody. Please do your own research. https://news.sky.com/story/whirlpool-condemned-for-gagging-faulty-dryer-fire-victims-11850792 [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:24 AM PDT Do you keep records of the money you spent on leisure each year? I am talking about fancy meals out, Starbucks, Alcohol, Concerts, and Travel, etc? What if you would had not spent that money on leisure "wants" and instead had put that money in the stock market? How much money would you have? My wife and I like to track our income and spending and enjoy looking back at what we earned, spent and invested. We keep extensive detailed spreadsheets going back to 1990 when we got married. Since 1990, we have spent an average of $6000 a year on travel. $7000 a year on eating out at nice restaurants and about $2000 a year on Starbucks and $2000 for Wine, and Beer while eating out. And about $2000 on concerts, plays, and musicals. Combined this is $19,000 a year on leisure and eating out, etc. This $19K has been about 25% of our take home pay. If we would have not participated in these activities and put all that money in the stock market (in a total stock market fund) we would have $2,266,298 more in our retirement account and how nice would that be! Does this story make you want to spend less on "wants" leisure and invest more? Your thoughts, please! [link] [comments]  |
| Why is “the intelligent investor” so recommended? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:42 AM PDT Damn, I get it's a good book but, it's a very hard book to read for most people. Especially as a beginner book it's extremely hard. Took me months to finally MANAGE to read the book. [link] [comments]  |

| Anyone else notice this trend in their favorite ETF screener? Posted: 01 Nov 2019 02:12 PM PDT A ran a screen for best performing ETF's over the last 3 months with net expense ratio less than 0.3%. The best performing ETF's are long term treasuries ETF's, high quality corp bonds ETF's, precious metals (e.g. BAR) ETF's, utilities ETF's, staples ETF's, low-vol reliable dividends ETF's, and REIT ETF's. I don't know about you but all of these seem to scream "defensive" to one degree or another for me. To use a metaphor, it seems like everyone is getting ready for a winter. Like when a squirrels stores nuts for the winter. Is anyone else noticing this trend? Is anyone else also preparing for "winter"? If so how? UPDATE: I think I am going to realign some of my portfolio into some of these asset classes and sectors. Not all...just some. I think the idea of HODL one hundred percent QQQ all the things is not prudent at the moment. [link] [comments]  |

| VOO in robinhood or Vanguard Roth IRA? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 12:56 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm on investing most of my money that I have saved up into either VOO or VTI ETFs. Planning in holding long term (10 years). So would it better to do it on robinhood or vanguard Roth IRA? I was just curious because isn't the vanguard Roth IRA only beneficial if you plan to invest and re-invest dividends till you retire 60 years old(tax benefits). I'm in my mid twenties and might need to use the money for a house or open up my own business. [link] [comments]  |
| Invest between May and October only? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 12:16 AM PDT Hi all, I was doing research on something called the "Halloween strategy" or "Halloween indicator": https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/halloween-strategy.asp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sell_in_May This chart from Investopedia was kinda compelling: https://www.investopedia.com/thmb/AdbyiRzyX2pMYOwd_w93pOq5G50=/1401x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/halloween-5bfd6cea46e0fb002645076f:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/halloween-5bfd6cea46e0fb002645076f) As a long term investor, I was wondering if it makes sense to buy in May through October being that returns are lower (when prices are cheaper?)? The articles say those who follow the strategy invest during the November through April period. Seems counter-intuitive to me as they would be purchasing at a higher price during that period if true? Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
